Police are asking the public for help identifying a man who used a stolen credit card at several stores in town.

The man, described as a white male with facial hair, eye glasses and tattoos on both arms, used a stolen card at 7-Eleven, Stop & Shop and Target in Abington on April 25. He made a $39 purchase at 7-Eleven and a purchase of more than $200 at Stop & Shop before the credit card company’s fraud unit noticed the charges, Deputy Chief Christopher Cutter said. Additional charges of $200 and $100 at Target were denied.

The credit card company alerted its customer, who reported the crime to police, Cutter said.

The man was seen getting out of the passenger side of a white Chevy work van.

Cutter said that the department has seen a lot of success using MassMostWanted.com, the police crime information website, but that Facebook and Twitter are increasingly helpful in locating criminals.

“We have pretty good luck in identifying the photos we do put up,” Cutter said.

He encouraged residents to provide tips even if they are not 100 percent certain they have the right person because officers will investigate before picking anyone up for the crime.
